Why is it important?
It shows that resilience is associated with lower psychological distress, but it does not fully buffer the effects of stressors. Therefore, interventions should not only strengthen resilience but also reduce discrimination.
Perspectives
One finding that intrigued me is that although resilience is associated with lower psychological distress, discrimination can still negatively affect mental health.
